That's because it's this year's first so-called "Manhattanhenge." At 8:16 tonight, the sun will align with the Manhattan street grid.

The best spots to see "Manhattanhenge" will be on 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd and 57th streets, according to PIX 11. The Empire State and Chrysler buildings will also provide spectacular views, the newsstation said.

The term was popularized by Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson, The New York Times reported. He said the way the sun shines on the buildings reminded him of how the sun aligns with the ancient stones in Stonehenge.

The solar phenomenon happens only twice a year. The next "Manhattanhenge" will fall on July 12, PIX 11 said.
